Biden: I’m Working with the Israeli Government to Encourage a Withdrawal from Gaza

U.S. President Joe Biden responded today, Monday, to protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, stating that he is "quietly working with the Israeli government to encourage it to reduce its attacks in Gaza and to withdraw significantly from Gaza." Several protesters interrupted Biden while he was speaking at a church in Charleston, prompting security to remove them from the church. Additionally, pro-Palestinian protesters blocked several bridges and a tunnel in New York City today, demanding an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing conflict that has lasted for three months between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement "Hamas."
